Citizen cannot be deported out of the country he is a citizen of .... that would be termed as "exiled"; and I don't think any major country does that anymore.

However, what the U.S. terms as a "resident alien" can be deported. A resident alien is a foreign national with full rights of property other legalities, such as staying in the host country indefinitely. The main difference is that it requires citizenship for certain things such as voting and holding government offices. If a resident alien breaks the law, then deportation is a consideration in the sentencing process.
